VPS App Catalog & Packages

Purchase VPS servers, bundle apps, and manage customer deployments through the Partner Portal.

What you can do

The VPS section of the Partner Portal lets you:

1. Purchase VPS servers for your customers (6 plan tiers, $6.98–$75.57/mo)
2. Create App Packages — bundle apps with a VPS plan and set your own customer price
3. Reinstall instances — swap the software stack on an existing VPS without destroying customer data
4. Control visibility — choose which plans your customers can see

Managing Instances

Switch to the My Instances tab to see your VPS servers.

Each instance card shows: name, IP address, status (active/suspended/cancelled), which customer it’s assigned to, and the monthly cost.

Reinstalling with a new app or stack

Click Reinstall on any active instance to open the app selection modal.

The modal has two modes — toggle between them at the top:

Single App mode

Choose one application to install:

• Clean Ubuntu — bare OS, no software pre-installed. Expert use only.
• Docker + Portainer — the platform default stack. Installed on every new VPS unless you choose something else.
• Any other app from the catalog (OpenClaw, n8n, Ollama, Nextcloud, etc.)

Click any app card to open the detail overlay — showing description, features, resource usage (RAM), access port, website, and GitHub link.

Then click Select for Install.

Build Package mode

Build a custom stack of multiple apps that install together. Useful for pre-configured offerings like “AI Agent Stack” (OpenClaw + Ollama + n8n).

• Click + Add to Package on any app card
• Port conflicts are detected automatically and shown as a warning — apps sharing the same port cannot be installed together
• Total estimated RAM is shown based on selected apps
• Click Remove (✕) on a tag to unselect an app

Confirm and reinstall

Both modes require you to:

1. Check the confirmation box: “I understand this will permanently delete all data on this server and reinstall the OS.”
2. Click Reinstall VPS

The instance status changes to pending_reinstallation and the platform runs the cloud-init script on the Contabo VPS.

App Packages (VPS Settings)

In VPS Settings, scroll to App Packages to create pre-configured bundles you can offer customers as a single product.

Create a package

1. Click New Package — a sidebar slides in from the right
2. Enter a package name — e.g. “AI Starter Stack”, “Automation Pro”
3. Choose a base VPS plan to bundle with (e.g. Cloud VPS 10, 20, 30…)
4. Toggle which apps to include — OpenClaw is automatically provisioned with a Knotie API key for each customer
5. Set your monthly/yearly price — shown to customers in their whitelabel portal
6. Toggle visibility per plan (show on Cloud VPS 20+ but not VPS 10, for example)
7. Click Save

When a customer purchases a package from their portal, the platform automatically provisions all the apps and configures OpenClaw — no manual setup needed.

App Catalog (Full List)

When you click any app card in the reinstall modal, you see the full app detail view with:

• Name + emoji/logo — unique icon for the app
• Description — one-line summary of what the app does
• Features — key capabilities as bullet points
• Tags — searchable labels (e.g. #llm, #chatbot, #automation)
• Resource estimate — approximate RAM usage
• Access port — primary port the app listens on
• License — open source license (MIT, Apache 2.0, etc.)
• Links — official website and GitHub repository

App status badges

Only one badge appears in the reinstall modal:

• Platform default — shown on the Docker + Portainer card (the default stack on every new VPS)

Other badges you may see in the full app catalog:

• New — app added to the platform within the last ~6 months
• Popular — widely used in the self-hosted ecosystem
• Beta — functional but not yet verified on a production VPS
